GEOLOGICAL AND SAMPLING SURVEY
LONGBOW EXPLORATION LTD. RIGGS TOWNSHIP, ONT.
INTRODUCTIONi
The geological survey was carried out over the
Longbow Explorations' property in the Goudreau-
Lochalsh area of Northwestern Ontario during the months
of October, November and December, 1987.
The purpose of the survey was to locate and
delineate any known or new mineralized and quartz\
bearing zones, and to determine the geological structure
underlaying the companies claim group. In this area and to the
west , gold is associated with mineralized quartz-
carbonate, chlorite and serecite rich shear zones,
and mineralized contact zones between the diorite
intrusives and the acid volcanics. Mineralization
consists of pyrite, pyrrhotite, magnetite, chalcopyrite,
and sphalerite. Mineralized quartz veins of up to
10.0 feet in width have been reported in showings in the area in
carbonate rich alteration contacts between the diorite
intrusive and the acid volcanic units.
Most of the mineral occurrences appear to be
related to northwest-southeast trending shear systems.
It is not known whether faulting has played a role in
the emplacement of mineralization along these shear
zones.
The geological survey was conducted over some
18 miles of grid with a grid spacing of 100 metres between
lines.
PROPERTY
The property consists of 49 unpatented mining
claims and l patented mining claim, all contiguous, located
in the northwest corner of Riggs Township, of the District

GENERAL GEOLOGY;
The geology of the Lochalsh-Goudreau area was
mapped by E.S.Moore (O.D.M. Vol.XL,Pt.IV,1931.), and at
a later date by E.L.Bruce (O.D.M. Vol.XLIX,Pt.3,1940.).
The area mainly consists of Keewatin volcanics
consisting of interbedded acid lava flows (tuff and
dacite) and basic lava flows (basalt and andesite). The
basic lavas overly the acid lavas. The volcanics are
generally of the greenschist facies. These units form
a northeasterly striking belt.
Diorites and granodiorites of"Algoman age intrude
the volcanics in the form of stocks and dykes.These
are generally narrow and are elongated in the same
direction as the Keewatin volcanics.
Porphyry dykes, diabase dykes and quartz veins
intrude both the volcanics and the. granites. The diabase
dykes strike in a northwest direction and are usually
less than 100 feet in width. A majority of the quartz
vein systems are found at the contacts of the volcanics
and the diorites, and are usually associated with
serecite and chlorite rich shears. The porphyry dykes
are usually narrow and discontinuous and are found in
close association with these shear zones. Sulphides
consisting of pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, magnetite,
and sphalerite are associated with the contacts and
shear zones in generally low amounts.

GEOLOGY;
The property lies in an east-west striking
belt of acid volcanic flows and diorite intrusives. The
acid volcanics, mainly coarse grained tuffs, are
interbedded with narrow units of basic volcanic flows.
The acid volcanic units are overlain by basic
volcanics. These units have been intruded by elongated
masses and tongues of diorite.
Diabase dykes of up to 100 feet in width cut
both of the other units, and strike discordantly
across the other units in a northwesterly direction.
Several east-west trending quartz-carbonate
zones cut the acid volcanic units close to their contacts
with the diorite intrusives. Several sericite and
chlorite rich shears are found at the contacts or
close to the contacts between the acid volcanics
and the diorite intrusives. Disseminated mineralization
of pyrite, pyrrhotite, magnetite, chalcopyrite, and
sphalerite are found in the shear zones and close to
the contacts.
Basic Volcanics;
This unit is comprised mainly of intermediate
to basic lava flows of andesite and basalt origin. The
basic volcanics are sparse and are generally found
on the edges of the acid volcanics close to the contacts
with the diorite intrusives. They are mainly a fine
grained, massive rock which has a coarse grained
amphibolitic makeup near the contacts of the diorites.
This unit is weakly to moderately chloritic.
content; a result of alteration of amphibole. This unit
has an ophitic texture and distinguishing 'blue quartz
eyes'. This rock is generally dark green weathering to
a porphyritic texture. These quartz rich rocks have a
high magnetite content , particularly along the contacts.
Some ser cite and chlorite rich shears are found close to
the contacts of the diorite plugs . Mineralization of
pyrite, pyrrhotite, magnetite and chalcopyrite is
prevalent along these contact borders.
Diabase;
The youngest Precambrian rock is diabase,
which occurs as northwesterly trending dykes of up to
100 feet in width. Some appear to be discontinuous and
others could not be followed for any great lengths ae
outcroppings are scarce.
The diabase are medium grained rocks with an
ophitic texture on fresh surfaces. This dark brown rock
is generally magnetite rich. This unit cuts across all
of the other units.
Recent and Pleistocene:
Unconsolidated sand ridges are prevalent in the
northern and central sections of the property. Boulder
till covers many of the low valley areas in the southeast
extremities of the property. Some boulders are up to
10 feet in diameter.
Shear - Quartz-Carbonate Zones i
Several northeast trending serecite and chlorite
rich shear zones have been encountered in the diorite
10
Acid Volcanics;
The acid volcanics make up the
majority of the rocks found on the claim group. They
occur as grey to pale green rocks which become sericite
rich near zones of shearing. Carbonate rich acid volcanic
units are found close to the contacts of this unit,
A coarse grained tuff phase makes up a majority
of this unit. It is made up of large phenocrysts of
angular quartz and feldspar which have a diameter of
up to i cm.This unit is porphyritic near its contacts j
probably as a result of chloritization alteration. Some
areas are well bedded. These beds strike generally in an
east-west direction and dip at 70-800 to the north.
Several bands of fine grained acid volcanics of
dacitic composition were encountered. These are generally
massive and poorly bedded. Porphyritic texture and
carbonate rich sections are prevalent in this unit.
A band of agglomeritic tuff was traversed at
the edge of diorite and mafic volcanic units. Weathered
fragments of up to 15 cm. diameter could be observed
on surface exposures.

fragments of up to 15 cm. diameter could be observed
on surface exposures.
Diorite Intrusives:
These units are sometimes difficult to
distinguish from the basic volcanic flows, especially
close to the contacts between these two units. The
diorites are generally altered and have a high chlorite
11
and acid volcanic flow units. These zones vary from a
few inches to 20 feet in width. Many appear to be short
and discontinuous, although they mainly occur in areas
of heavy swamp and deep overburden coverage. Most of
the shears dip to the northeast at 70-80 0 . Sections bf
these shears are carbonate rich and quartz veins of
up to 5 feet in width have been found along these
shears. Much of the quartz in these zones is fine
sugar textured with very little mineral. Some veins
with pyrite injected bands have been observed.
Quartz veins up to a width of 5 feet have been
observed close to the contacts between the diorite and
the acid volcanic flow unit. They are generally coarse
grained and contain low gold concentrations,
12
ECONOMIC GEOLOGY
Gold mineralization in the area appears to be mainly
associated with stratabound chemical sediments and hydrothermal
remobilized zones within shears. Structural and lithological
similarities indicate that extensions of the Vega, Cline,
Edwards, Algoma-Summit, Algold and Ego properties are inter
related and could possibly cross the property.
Gold bearing shears of up to five feet in width have
been located in the south-west and south-east sections of the
property. Gold values encountered in the Company's patented
claim 12220 are shown on Figure l, page 5, of this report but
widths of the gold values are not known. In the north-west
section of the property, gold mineralization has also been
reported adjacent to north-west trending diabase dikes.
Former producers within the same metavolcanic belt
have produced over 78,000 ounces of gold and 13,000 ounces of
silver from this greenstone belt.
The Cline Mine, approximately seven kilometers to
the west, is reported to have produced some 63,321 ounces of
gold and 10,598 ounces of silver from 333,435 tons milled.
It is still reported to have 20,400 tons of reserves grading
0.70 ounces of gold per ton. Noranda Mines has recently
been exploring this property with some, reported success.
The Edwards Mine, some nine kilometers to the west,
is reported to have treated 1,573 tons of ore to produce
485 ounces of gold and 37 ounces of silver. The recovery
grade ran 0.30 ounces of gold per ton.
13
The Kremzar property, approximately twelve kilo-
meters to the west, has recently undergone a major explor
ation program which has outlined a possible new ore body.
A tonnage of 1,100,000 tons grading 0.235 ounces of gold
per ton has been indicated and underground development work
is now going on via a decline.
The Magino Mine, some fifteen kilometers to the west,
produced 8,776 ounces of gold and 856 ounces of silver from
116,627 tons of ore. This property, like the Kremzar, has had
ongoing exploration over the past few years which has culminated
in proceeding to an underground evaluation program by means of
an inclined ramp. The latest quoted tonnage is 1,066,836 tons
with an average grade of 0.25 ounces per ton of gold.
The above mentioned properties have gold mineral
ized zones in sheared granodiorite at or near a metavolcanic
contact. Geologically, this is similar to the underlying
structure and rock'types of the Watson Lake property.
Esso Minerals, exploring the former Markes property,
approximately five kilometers west of the Watson Lake property,
has reported the average uncut.grade calculated from five
channels up to 30 feet in length across a carbonatized section
between two shears is 0.16 ounces of gold per ton. Gold values
have also been reported from their diamond drill program with
core lengths of up to 45.5 feet.

^^ Considerable prospecting in the area was done during
the 1930's in the form of trenching and pitting. The early
gold producers prompted exploration of the shear zones and
areas surrounding the granodiorite and felsic intrusives
within the greenstone belt.
In 1936, 32.1 ounces of gold were produced from
the Emms Bay Mine, which is located just to the east of the
property. This zone is located in quartz veins in a north
west trending diabase dyke which has intruded a gabbro stock.
Three tons of high-grade material were milled and returned
a value of 1.0 ounces of gold per ton. Other sections of the
quartz veins, sampled by G. L. White, returned values as high
as 2.31 ounces of gold per ton over a 5.0 foot width. Gold
values were found to be erratic and localized within the
quartz veins. In 1960, Noranda Explorations ran magnetics,
electromagnetics and geological surveys over the north-east
section of the property. An electromagnetic and magnetic
anomaly was detected, running in a northwest direction
within the gabbro intrusive stock.
In 1947, R. Campbell tested 4.0 to 5.0 foot wide
shear zones in the south-east section of the property. Two-
hundred feet were diamond drilled in two holes on what is now
Claim 827197. Low 'gold values were returned.-
17
In 1975, Amax drilled 501 feet in the southwest
section of the property on Claim 779057. Sections of
serecite schist and silicified tuff returned values as high
as 0.04 ounces.over 3.2 feet. One section Of 29.8 feet
averaged approximately 0.02 ounces of gold per ton.
On the patented Claim 12220 which is a part of
this claim group, Figure I on the following page shows the
trenching done on this claim and the gold values obtained.
Figure I is a copy of the original sketch plan with values
in ounces per ton rather than dollars, as shown on the
original.
Other than the above mentioned work, there is no
evidence of exploration having been done on the property.
This may, in part, be due to a large portion of the property
being covered by overburden.

CONCLUSIONS
The 14 claim area covered by the survey is located in the
south-central portion of the property and covers the east and
west flanks of Claim P.12220 which had received some trenching
and sampling in the past.
The geological units were basically intermediate to mafic
volcanics in the low to intermediate grade of metamorphism and
consisted of carbonated biotite schists, pillowed lavas, and-
esites and the odd felsic to intermediate dacitic unit as shown
on Plate l attached to this report. Many of the exposures were
uncovered by the extensive bulldozer stripping done prior to the
mapping and sampling. This was carried out by Longbow Explorations
during the summers of 1986-87.
The mapping delineated several linear sulphide-rich magnetite
Iron Formations striking at roughly 110 and dipping steeply
to the north. This marker was observed to be locally contorted
and folded. Many of the fold noses and contacts were sheared
and fracture filled with quartz and cubic pyrite mineralization.
Several diabase dikes were observed to cross-cut the trend of
the geological units in a northwesterly direction and are assumed
to be a late stage intrusive filling fault lineaments.
Sampling was carried out over the available outcrops and trenched
areas where silicification and mineralization was observed. The
samples are listed and located on the accompanying geological map
appended to this report. Most of the samples were of the grab and
chip nature where exposures allowed. The best values from the
sampling returned gold assays of up to 0.02 oz. per ton but none
of the samples were deemed to be of economic grade.
20
Much of the property is covered by extensive overburden,swamp
and lake and thus it was difficult to map the geological units
in the north and western portions of the property and along the
southeastern boundary. Several prospecting forays were made to
check out old showings and possible contacts but little or no
information was forthcoming without carrying out extensive
backhoe stripping or overburden drilling.
Further work should be carried out to delineate the known
mineralized units using the Iron Formations as markers to trace
the known contacts. Most of this next phase will require the
use of geophysics to map out the structure and delineate the
magnetite-rich banded Iron Formations. It did work successfully
when the Proton Magnetometer was used over the limited area
covering the 14 claims.
This phase of the work will require linecutting to extend
the present grid, an extension of the present Magnetometer Survey,
a V.L.F.-Electomagnetic Survey, some basal till sampling, stripping
and trenching, sampling and assaying of new exposures and diamond
drilling to test geological and geophysical targets showing good
potential for gold mineralization.

WATSON LAKE MAP REPORT
l - 3- INTRODUCTION
The property discussed in this report is located approximately 2.5 km south-east of Lochalsh, Ontario. This property includes claims 827101-827]04, 827107-827110, 827192-827195, 810295-810300, 924648-924649, 885161 and patented claim SSM 12220. Access to this group is gained by dirt road from Lochalsh.
Detailed mapping was carried out by P. Rushforth and D. Paul of E. M. van Hees Geological Services Inc., Timmins, Ontario, between November 28th. and December 6th., 1987. Traverses were controlled by north-south lines, cut at 100 meter intervals along an east-west baseline of 2.1 km.
Previous mapping at a scale of l inch to 1/2 mile has been carried out by the Ontario Geological Survey (Srivastava and Bennett, 1978).
Extensive stripping of overburden and trenching has been done on the patented claim (SSM 12220). Rock sampling in the stripped and trenched areas has been carried out by Elpirit Lake Exploration Ltd., Toronto, Ontario.
l-2 TOEOGRAPHY
The main topographic feature of the property is a west-south-west trending ridge, which slopes steeply on its southern flank to a series of. small lakes and beaver ponds, parallel to the ridge. A boulder and gravel esker forms the southern bank of these lakes, and south of the esker all outcrop is covered by glacial moraines. Most stripped outcrops and trenches are found on the south flank of the ridge, north and east of. "Muskeg" Lake.
2 . l LITHOLOGY
Mafic metavolcanics of the map area are doiuinaritly aphanitic to fine grained, although medium-to coarse-grained examples are found in certain locations. This rock unit generally weathers to a light green to grey-green, being somewhat darker grey-green on a fresh surface.
Chlorite is identified in schistose and foliatedspecimens. In coarser grained rocks, altered clinopyroxeneand plagioclase feldspar with ophitic: texture can be
- 2 -
identified. Glomeroporphyritic texture is found in one outcrop, where l cm or larger plagioclase phenocrysts are clustered together in an aphanitic groundmass. In a few aphanitic specimens, fine (less than l mm) euhedral grains of magnetite are observed. Similarly, small euhedral to anhedral pyrite crystals are found in some outcrops.
Intermediate metavolcanics were distinguished from mafic and felsic by the fact that they weather to a distinct light brownish green colour and are light to dark grey on a fresh surface. The intermediate rocks range in grain size from aphanitic to medium grained and texturally from massive to porphyritic. Phenocryst phases identified in this rock type are l to 3 mm, equant plagioclase crystals, and grey or rare blue rounded quartz "eyes". On a fresh surface, plagioclase phenocrysts appear grey to light brown, however, where weathered they apppear quite rusty. Where foliated or schistose, varying relative amounts of chlorite and sericite micas are found.
An intermediate lapilli tuff, is observed in several locations. It is comprised of a f ine grained grey to green matrix with highly flattened, felsic clasts l cm thick, and up to 30 cm in length. These clasts are fine grained massive to porphyritic. Isolated quart?, augens 7 x 15 cm are found parallel to foliation. In one locale, 1.5 to 2.0 m beds of this tuff are interbedded with foliated to intermediate flows. F'elsic metavolcanics are characteristically white to light green in weathered outcrop, and are white-grey on a fresh surface. They range in grain size from aphanitic to fine grained. Porphyritic varieties with quartz and feldspar phenocrysts up to 3 mm are also found. Schistose varieties of this rock are sericitic. Tuffaceous outeroppincjs are visible with a fine grained matrix, crystals and glass/lithic fragments.
Unfoliated diabase dykes intrude the foliatedvolcanic rocks of the map area. They tend to form low ridges and strike at low to high angler, to the regional foliation. Dips are subvertica]. These dykes weather to a dark rusty brown, with clinopyroxene weathering more resistantly than adjacent plagioclase. This lends a rough appearance to an outcrop surface. On a fresh surface greeny-white plagioclase and greeny-black pyroxene needles are observed with characteristic ophitic texture;.
- 3
Banded Algoma-type iron formation is found in a few locations in the north-central map area. Discrete 0.5 to 1.0 cm bands of fine grained magnetite (and probable hematite) are interlaminated with essentially monomineralic siderite and chert bands, although smooth gradation between chert and magnetite bands is common. Coarse (less than 5 rnm) crystals of magnetite and pyrite are developed in proximal greenalite (?) rich bands.
2-2 MINERALIZATION
Quartz-carbonate (ferroan dolomite-ankerite, plus calcite) - pyrite veins are found in many locations, and are associated with mafic to felsic rock types. Outcrops often show foliated to schistose fabrics where such veining occurs. These veins are locally breccia filled, with quartz filling the main cavity and fine to coarse ankerite, calcite and minor pyrite forming their margins. Pervasive calcite carbonatiza-tion is observed in many areas where no veins are found. Lirnonitic weathering is seen in many outcrops where iron carbonates are observed in the fresh rock.
